My ISP tells me that I’m not required to use the eero router. Wouldn’t it be easier to just replace the eero with a good router that can do the static route into the BR1?

Yes replace the error with a peplink problem solved!
Well - I thought I had it licked. Installed a new router on the 10.x, and added the static route back to the 50.x subnet. I can ping devices from 10.x to 50.x and from 50.x to 10.x. BUT - now I have no internet access from the 50.x. I did at first, but thought I had a DNS problem, so was messing around with DNS servers. Now I have no internet access from the 50.x subnet. When I ping www.google.com from 50.x, I get an IP address (PING www.google.com (142.250.191.132)), but no response - so I was thinking DNS is working, but not getting through. Any ideas why no internet from the subnet now?
I think I have everything working now, except the static route. Super frustrating. I can ping 10.x devices from the 50.x network, and I have internet connectivity from the 50.x network. I have a static route set up on the 10.1 router (picture), but cannot connect from the 10.x network to devices on the 50.x network. Is the NAT setting of the BR1 stopping this? Do I also need to add a static route FROM the 50.x side? Some other setting I need for the static route to work?
When I set the BR1 WAN connection to IP Forwarding, I can connect to 50.x devices from 10.x network, but I lose internet connection from 50.x devices. Any idea why? I’ve just about had it with this thing.
Okay. I think I have the solution. Went back to NAT routing mode, so pings work out of the 50.x to 10.x and I have internet connectivity from the 50.x subnet. Only problem was static route from 10.x to 50.x didn’t work. Discovered the RIPv2 setting on both routers to ‘advertise’ their routing information. Static route started working!
